OPERATION
For shipping purposes, the wheels are set in the
upper mounting holes. Relocating the wheels to
the second hole from the bottom will give better
mowing results in most cases. When changing
wheel positions, be sure belleville washers are
assembled properly. See illustration on page 10.

SAE 30 or 40 oil per one (1) gallon of regular
gasoline. (NOT NO LEAD GASOLINE.) This
